BROOKLYN.—Assisted by my brother and his wife, I have been conducting a series of lectures in a hall three blocks from a beautiful park in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., among the better class of people. This hall rents regularly for ten dollars a night, but we have secured it for Sunday nights for three dollars, light and heat included. We believe God's hand has guided in these meetings, giving us the hall at so reasonable a figure, and filling it, every night except when very stormy, with honest-hearted people, mostly Christians of other denominations, who have left their own Sunday-night services to attend our meetings from the first. Nearly all who have attended are middle-aged and aged people, several of whom saw the stars fall in 1833, and who were also connected with the 1844 movement. To illustrate the subjects presented, I have used a dissolving-view stereopticon with good results.

Twenty lectures have been given, and now the Sabbath question is being presented. Fifteen persons have already promised to keep the Sabbath. The donations have averaged from $2.75 to $8 a night. The lectures will doubtless continue until tent-meeting season. As the judgments of God are fast visiting our large cities, and as so many of these cities have not as yet heard God's message to them, will you not pray that God may clothe his servants with the power of the Holy Spirit, that these cities may soon hear the warning, and the honest ones be gathered into this blessed truth, and be saved with an everlasting salvation?
